SET MENU

5. MAIN LVL

Choices: NORM (Normal)/–10 dB

Preset position: NORM (Normal)

NORM (Normal)

Normally select this position.

–10 dB

Select this position if the sound output from the main speakers is too loud and cannot be balanced with the sound output from the center and rear speakers. In this position, the sound output from the main speakers is attenuated.

Notes

•The setting of “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP” and “BASS OUT” have no effect on a source connected to the EXTERNAL DECODER INPUT terminals on the rear of this unit.

•Once you have adjusted appropriately for “CENTER SP”, “REAR SP”, “MAIN SP”, “BASS OUT” and “MAIN LVL”, you do not have to change any settings unless your speaker system is modified.

6.D.D. LFE (Adjusting the output level of the LFE channel for Dolby Digital)

Control range: –20 dB to 0 dB (in 1 dB steps)

Preset value: 0 dB

Note

•This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being decoded and the selected source encoded with Dolby Digital contains LFE signals.

This adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and they are directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted.

7.D-RANGE (Adjusting the dynamic range)

Choices: MAX/STD (Standard)/MIN

Preset position: MAX

Note

•This adjustment is only effective when Dolby Digital is being decoded.

“Dynamic range” is the difference between the maximum level and the minimum level of sounds. Sounds on a movie originally designed for movie theaters feature a very wide dynamic range. Dolby Digital technology can modify the original sound track into a home audio format with this wide dynamic range unchanged. Powerful sounds of extremely wide dynamic range are not always suitable for home use. Depending on the condition of your listening environment, it may not be possible to increase the sound output to a level as high as that in a movie theater. However, at the normal level suitable for listening in your room, the low-level parts of source sound often cannot be heard well because they will be lost among noise in your environment. Dolby Digital technology has also made it possible to reduce an original sound track’s dynamic range for a home audio format by “compressing” the sound data.

MAX

In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the original sound track’s wide dynamic range to provide you with powerful sounds just like those in a movie theater. Selecting this position will be even better if you can listen to a source at a high output level in a room specially soundproofed for audio/video enjoyment.

STD (Standard)

In this position, a source encoded with Dolby Digital is reproduced in the “compressed” dynamic range of the source that is suitable for low-level listening.

MIN

In this position, the dynamic range is more reduced than in the STD position. Selecting this position will be effective when you must listen to a source at a low level.

Note

•It may happen that sound is output faintly or not output normally depending on the source. In that case, select the MAX or STD position.
